    In a reasonably rare even of a freight train that is not a demonstration (although of course non revenue being the railways own materials) some images of what I understand is the rest of the framework for the shed.
    Passing HX, being unloaded whilst being watched from another construction site, and a poor attempt at something more "arty" before the cladding goes on. DSC_0052r.jpg IMG_4626r.jpg IMG_4631.jpg

    Has Grange Road Bridge been repaired yet, I am not aware if it has or not. But if not no way for any inbound stock to access the railway if it is still OOU

    Interesting to see a brake van in the rake. The Turbots are all vac braked so no need for a van.

    Brake vans , an ideal place to workers to have tea/coffee and a pasty or pie.

    Does the SR Rulebook allow you to not have a brake van on the rear?

    Freight/ Enginners trains are Fully fitted class 6, Brake vans are provided I guess for the guard to ride in when the train is steam hauled.
    I guess the same applies on the Mid Hants?

    No idea, TBH. I only ever see the demo train at Galas, where a GBV is marshalled at each end of the rake. I've given up pointing out that a fully fitted train shouldn't have side lamps :(.

    Depends. The fully (air) fitted Spoil trains a few years ago ran with no brake van (and no guard or second man)
